February 4, 1934

"THE PROTOCOLS of the Wise Men of Zion", the handbook of the anti-Semites, are being reproduced again in Berlin,Hundreds of thousands of copies of the clumsy forgery are being distributed to incite still greater hate phlets contain an account of "secret sessions of the Cabbalist Sanhedrin, held in 1761, attended by representtatives of the twelve trbes of Israel from all parts of the world to work our a plot for the Jews to conquer the world in 1941."

This base falschood was exposed by the London Times, as well as in my booklet, "The History of a Lie" and other works published in England and in Germany.Giveen out as fiction by a German anti-Semitic writer, involved in the ontorious Waldeck forgery case, who concealed his identity under the pen-name of an changed and elaborated, and finally groomed as fact. Agents of the Russian secredt police department and of the "Black Hundreds" then utilized this fiction as the framework of the "prolocols" through which they sought to crush the Jews and prop up the tottering Russian dyansty. Tasrism destoyed itself, but the agents of Tsarism, still dreamin of their glory and of a restoreation of their provileges, continued their destructive propoganda through the "Protocols" in various lands since the end of the World War.

With the beginnings of Hitlerism in Germany, the Protocol myth has become the essence of Hitler’s campaign against the Jews of Germany. The Nazi anti-Jewish program is based on this grotgery, even though the whole civilized world has recognized that this forgery came out of the scrap heap of Tsarost aitpcracy and so-called German scientific anti-Semitism.

The late Louis Marshall, who carefully examined the documentary evidence I submitted in "The History of a Lie", proving the various stages of the forgery of the "Protocols", wrote the following last parapraphs in that book:

"In periods of turmoil and unrest such venomous fabrications may gain credence among the ignorant and may poison their minds. But, like all anti-Semitic myths of old, the new anti-Jewish legeds are bound to destroy themselves. A lie shuns the sunlight. It thrives in darkness. It cannot survive analysis. The truth will prevail.

"Israel has no secret protocols, no hidden designs. After all its tribulations, its dream is still of peace, of justice and human brotherhood. After all the centuries the word that came from Sinai and the message, of the prophets of old are still enshrined in its heart. Indeed, as has been aptly said: The Holy Scriptures are the only authentic protocols of the Wise Men of Zion’".

In Hitler’s Germany today the’ Holy Scriptures arc denounced as a menace to pure Aryanism. Israel is crucified, and the spirit of Christianity is openly and officially mocked by a Government that calls itself Christian.
